A prison sentence doesn't make sense in these cases, since there is no risk of repeat offenses and therefore no rehabilitation required.
Just give them a 4 digit large fine and maybe deport them, unless you have a non-functioning justice system focused on cruelty, then give them a significant prison sentence.
Keep in mind that legal systems in other countries might actually work differently.
Apparently they had fines before, are facing increased gun violence and thus increased the punishment.
Maybe they love to punish stupid Americans.
